Frequent Fliers Hunt for Loopholes in New Mile Award Programs
Travelers Look to Fill Up on Miles with Partner Carriers
Business-school professor Garold Lantz travels to Asian universities several times a year and earns about 30,000 United Airlines miles on each trip.

He may take the same trips as before, but he’s considering paying United’s partner Singapore Airlines to get more miles.
